Chapter 15: The Unspoken

The following day, the atmosphere in the school remained heavy, but Minh Hoang couldn't shake off the feeling of unease in his heart. The Elite Assembly was approaching, and everything became more important than ever. He felt like he was standing at a crossroads, not only in his relationship with Thanh Khai, but also in his own life.

He entered the classroom with a heavy heart, but Thanh Khai's eyes always made Minh Hoang uneasy. He was trying to keep his distance, but always watched him, making Minh Hoang feel like an invisible wall was being erected between them.

Ngoc Han sat down next to Minh Hoang, looking at him with probing eyes. "Don't you see, the relationship between you and Thanh Khai seems to be undergoing a big change. But are you ready to face the truth?"

Minh Hoang was silent, not answering immediately. He didn't know what to do with the vague emotions in his heart. The relationship between him and Thanh Khai was always full of contradictions, full of shyness and apprehension. He couldn't determine whether he was in love with Thanh Khai, or just craving love and protection.

"What do you mean by that?" Minh Hoang asked, feeling a vague anxiety in Ngoc Han's words.

Ngoc Han looked at him with sharp eyes. "Surely Thanh Khai has some feelings for you, but do you understand your own feelings? Or are you just fantasizing yourself?"

Minh Hoang didn't answer, but Ngoc Han's words were like a slap in his face. He didn't want to face the truth, but perhaps Ngoc Han was right. Could he understand his own feelings before this relationship became too complicated?

The school hours passed quickly, and as soon as the bell rang, Minh Hoang hurriedly left the class, just wanting to get away from everything. But when he entered the hallway, he met Thanh Khai again. He was leaning against the wall, his eyes never leaving Minh Hoang.

"Where do you want to go?" Thanh Khai asked, his voice a bit surprised.

Minh Hoang looked at him, not answering immediately. The feeling of confusion in his heart grew stronger, but he didn't know what to do with these emotions.

"It's not that I don't want to talk," Minh Hoang said, "But I need time to think. Do you understand?"

Thanh Khai was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "I understand. But don't let the time drag on too long. You and I... we can't just stand on the sidelines forever."

Thanh Khai's words made Minh Hoang feel his heart beat faster. It seemed that he was also confused, but didn't clearly say what he felt.

Minh Hoang walked away, not daring to look back. He knew he couldn't keep running away forever. The unexplainable emotions, the unanswered questions would soon have to face the truth.

The Elite Assembly was approaching, and the challenges in the competition would not only be about winning. He not only had to fight to win glory, but also had to face himself, with the feelings that could not be hidden about Thanh Khai.

Would Minh Hoang find the right path for himself? And how will the relationship between him and Thanh Khai develop? Only time will tell. Time will answer all questions and there will be answers. Everyone wait.
